/**
 * Marks a method in an abstract {@link Dao} class as a transaction method.
 * <p>
 * The derived implementation of the method will execute the super method in a database transaction.
 * All the parameters and return types are preserved. The transaction will be marked as successful
 * unless an exception is thrown in the method body.
 * <p>
 * Example:
 * <pre>
 * {@literal @}Dao
 * public abstract class ProductDao {
 *    {@literal @}Insert
 *     public abstract void insert(Product product);
 *    {@literal @}Delete
 *     public abstract void delete(Product product);
 *    {@literal @}Transaction
 *     public void insertAndDeleteInTransaction(Product newProduct, Product oldProduct) {
 *         // Anything inside this method runs in a single transaction.
 *         insert(newProduct);
 *         delete(oldProduct);
 *     }
 * }
 * </pre>
